I knew the basic idea: Car starter, go-cart clutch, and reel made out of plywood . I would walk by some of the boats at the dock and get a general idea. I got a lot of materials from an auto electric store.

About this book
Thirty-Eight Miles from the Nearest Road is a story of the trials and tribulations encountered by a young couple during their early years. Bob Johnson is the grandson of hearty immigrants who all migrated to the United States from Finland over 100 years ago. They were all too familiar with the harsh elements of winter and the yoke of Soviet oppression. This background prepared Bob for a life of hard work, shortages, and self-dependence in the wilds of Canada and the dangers of commercial fishing off the coast of Florida. Bob's greatest obstacles and triumphs were the same; he challenged, daily, the world of nature, trying to get it to produce abundantly. These engagements were not always productive, joyful, or even peaceful but they were honest and basic, teaching a person the values of sweat, labor and personal responsibility: traits, which are lacking in our modern society. Bob did not choose an easy route to success but, rather, chose endeavors that require such character-building attributes as knowledge, imagination, adjudication, precision and persistence. The hardships encountered, the memories recorded in this book are expressions of joy, love, and fulfillment. Bob is very entertaining; some of the stories he tells will inspire the reader to shed tears of laughter. --From the Foreword by Melvin E. Weaver

Very good. I have a mini bike with a 212 predator engine. With a governor it goes 28 mph. You have to have brakes. These work great and when he gets older I will take the governor off. The 212 predator is a Honda clone. Thief 99 at harbor freight. I got a coupon for 40 off purchase. Wow this mini bike my son and myself ride together. He weighs 97 lbs and I weigh 185. That's a lot of weight flying allover town. Ya theses brakes are awesome!

4 inch brake band

This product shipped fast and works just fine, at first i did not think it would fit my old yerf dog gokart that i am fixing and restoring. It turns out I found a way to make it fit, and i adjusted it for a tighter fit, and the wheels will lock up just the way I like them to. There is an adjustement screw at the end of my brake rod just before the pedal that i can adjust the brakes with. I was going to go with a 5 inch brake band like last time, but it was less responsive and did not lock the rear wheels up, of course as it will wear down eventually it wont lock the rear wheels. I like the way it looks and the way it was crafted, I might try different sizes next time to see which ones work, and so far this is one of the better. I recommend this product,if you are mechanically inclined and are willing to take time to make adjustments. at first you will have some really tight brakes, and after driving a few ours they still seem very tight. They even helped when i adjusted my throttle... 5/5 Charles Romano - See all my reviews

I received it on time. Being well packed there was no damage to the clutch unit. Small, cheap, and works well. What more can you ask for?

Not Item Pictured

This review is from: MAX-TORQUE clutch 3/4 shaft,#40,41,420 chain,10 teeth
Did not receive the pictured item -- I did receive a clutch and it will work but it doesn't have the set screws (and no place to put set screws, Also the key is built into the clutch not a separate peace as pictured. Because of the design of this clutch I hand to make a spacer between it and the bevel on the output shaft otherwise there was no way to keep it from sliding 1/2 inch in either direction on the engine output shaft. I'm sure it is some sort of knockoff and not a MAX-TORQUE clutch. So far it is working good, though I just did a loop around the yard to test it. Unless you have the know how to make it work I wouldn't suggest you buy it.

Bought this needing a clutch for a #40 chain and this one shows up saying #420 on the packaging. Also no set screw or any place to install a set screw I'm going to have to drill and tap my own spot. The &#34;key&#34; that is already formed into the center piece doesn't protrude out as far as a normal key would. To sum it up I wouldn't buy this item again.
